artificial intelligence (ML/AI) technology can be biased throughnon-representative training and testing activities leading to discriminatory and negative socialconsequences. The enormous potential of ML/AI to shape the future of technology underscoresthe need to increase the diversity of workers within the field, with one group of untapped talentbeing women engineers. An unresolved contradiction exists between the trend of greater womanrepresentation in broader STEM fields and the consistently low numbers of women engineerspursuing careers in ML/AI. Furthermore, there has been a lack of tailored research investigatingthe potential causes of such under-representation. Professional Role Confidence has been shown to be a significant and positive

The JROTC program was established in 1916 and is a jointlyfunded program between the federal government and local school districts.

,including programs and initiatives linked to developing the aforementioned social support groups.However, women continue to hold a disproportionately low share of STEM undergraduatedegrees, particularly in engineering and computing, despite growing efforts to encourage womento pursue careers in STEM. For example, women comprise 46% of the available workforce [3] yetthey make up less than 20% of bachelor’s degrees awarded in computer science and only 22%awarded in engineering [4]. These findings highlight the need to further examine the dynamicslinked to women in engineering and computer science.

Women faculty in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplinesdescribe a "null environment for women" where they receive little support or colleagueship oncampus (Betz, 1992, 89).
